Horses Stolen & Organization Thinks The Worst May Have Happened

A string of horse thefts across the Treasure Cosat have raised concerns over new targeted areas of the illicit black market meat trade in Florida.

One horse was stolen from a ranch in Fort Pierce and another three were taken in Okeechobee County.

The Animal Recovery Mission is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

ARM has uncovered a pattern of stolen horses entering underground networks where they are transported and distributed as unregulated horse meat on the black market.

The St. Lucie and Okeechobee County Sheriff's Offices are investigating and if you have information regarding the case, contact Animal Recovery Mission.
